The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 56
LYRICAnd here I was, thinking this day couldn't get any worse for me.I nervously twiddled with the fabric of my shirt, trying to conjure the best possible lies in my head. I was already in too much mess with Jaris to add this to it."Care to explain?" His voice was stone cold.Goodness, he was beyond pissed.My lips moved, but no words formed."Were you trying to run away?" He took a step toward me."No. I promise, it's not what you think.""It's not what I think." He chuckled. "Well, your bags are here on the floor, all packed up. And it's night. So, maybe you want to explain what's going on."Shit. He was never supposed to see this. No one was. I'd left the room in a hurry and didn't think I'd be that unfortunate."What is wrong with you!?" He g

LYRICJace sat next to me, his shoulders slumped in defeat."At least, tell me what you did, Ly. Why are these people after you? I need to understand how I can help."I exhaled a long breath. He was right. If I needed his help, he should know what I did.It was terrifying that I had to say this. I was letting out a very big secret, but I didn't have a choice."Three years ago, I was in Mystopia." It was where I met Penelope and had my twins. But I didn't mention that to Jace. It wasn't important."I got a job in a hospital, but I was under training and supervision. I hardly interacted with the patients there. Then, I noticed that the few times I did, the patients could easily get better." I bit my lip, hesitating for what I was to say next. "One day, I stumbled upon a certain room. Before then, I'd noticed that room

LYRIC"Thank you," I whimpered, and he pulled me into a hug.After a while, we disengaged as he stated an important point. "First things first, you have to stay as hidden as possible, Ly. I was super glad when you told me about the job at TCH, but you can't keep drawing attention to you by doing things others can't."My heart sank. I'd seen this coming. I just didn't think I'd really hear of it."Only Siphons can do things others can't. And if you keep doing this, you'll draw attention to you until someone who knows what you are, figures you out. It won't also be long when the Executioners find you. You have to avoid trouble as much as you can. Alright?"I sniffled as I nodded. It was going to be so hard. And here I was, happy that I'd gotten a job and I was going to save lives. How unfortunate that my gift turned out to be a curse.

LYRIC My appetite left with Jace after our painful conversation. I was scared, and a tiny voice in my head kept mocking me that I might not be alive for very long.I heard my door unlocking and snapped upright, waiting to see who'd enter. It hadn't been long since the maids brought me food. So, who was—Oh.My thoughts took a pause. Swallowing hard, I rose to my feet as Jaris made his way in. He was still wearing something corporate, which meant he must just be making his way home. But it was almost midnight. Why was he just coming back?'It's none of your business, Lyric.'"Good evening," I murmured. It was the first time he was coming to see me since he locked me up. I couldn't believe he could be so cruel to do this to me. I noticed his eyes linger on the tray of my untouched meal. He didn't seem pleased."Why haven't you eaten?" He asked coldly. "Nothing. Just didn't have the appetite.""Seriously?" He huffed. "You're not eating so you can lie to people that I starve

JACE Jace adjusted in his seat. This was the real deal. "I need you to help me move into Darkspire."If Kael hadn't swallowed the drink he had in his mouth already, he'd have spilled it all over the table. He wouldn't have been as shocked if Jace had told him he wanted to take down a certain Alpha. But moving in to Darkspire? To a different Pack? It was beyond ridiculous.For Jace, it was very important. He was worried about Lyric and someone discovering her secret. He took the night they were supposed to elope as an instance. She had been caught and locked up by Jaris, yet he had no idea. If something bad were to happen to her while he was far away, he wouldn't have any idea until it was too late.He needed to be close to her."Please, tell me you're drunk," Kael scoffed. "That's the only reasonable explanation for this madness.""I wouldn't invite you here to drink from my glass if I wasn't serious. I'm damn serious about this, Kael.""Well, you sound crazy. I'm not letting y

LYRIC For someone as hard as Zarek, it was easy to see when he was tensed and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, he did a good job masking it as quickly as it came. But it wasn't quick enough to fool me. "What're you insinuating, Lyric?" He chuckled. "Alpha Zarek," I placed my hands on the desk and interlocked my fingers. "If you really want to return the favour for healing your father, you should tell me the truth. What were you doing there that night?"His face grew tender, hinting at a buried truth. He was hiding something. It was so clear now. "I wasn't doing anything," he shrugged, his face turning to rock once more. "I actually came with my mate and wanted to see if there was a vacancy in there. You know, that is my favorite spot. But you were already there, asleep. So, all I did was leave."Disappointment stabbed me in the heart. I held his gaze for some time before I lowered them to my desk, separating my fingers. "Is that so?""Yes." His voice was thick. "You could a

I headed home feeling very happy. Feeling accomplished.I headed to my room and paused when I found someone standing outside my door. The passage was dimly lit. So, I had to go closer to get a proper view of his face."Jace?" I stopped in my tracks, squinting my eyes.He pushed off from the wall where he leaned, giving me that annoying smirk of his. "Yes, my hopeless child! It is I!"I laughed as I ran into his arms. But our hug was brief. I needed answers."It's—It's late. What're you doing here?" And more importantly, how does he plan on getting home?"Yes, it's late. So, mind telling me why you're just coming home?""Oh, shut up, dad." I rolled my eyes. "I have a job now. Back to my question. What're you doing here?""Well," he shrugged. "You staring at your newest neighbor. Open the door, L

JARIS I had an early day at the office. But before leaving, I decided to check on the kids. I'd returned very late last night and couldn't see them. Reaching their door, I heard her voice. I slowed my steps, her voice bringing me the usual discomfort. Seeing and hearing her was the constant reminder of what she does to my body. It was something I hated and wished I could get rid of.I opened the doors and as soon as my presence was seen, she stopped talking. She had been sitting on the edge of the bed, applying something on Xylon's chest and massaging. She's always been quite good with the kids. Which was why it puzzled me that she had plans of leaving.'I know you might not believe it, but Xylon is the reason you caught me in the first place. And I intend to stay and finish my job on him. I chuckled. I can't abandon a soul like that. Never.'Her words from two days stuck with me. Could there be any truth to that?"Daddy!" Xyla ran to me, hugging me. Xylon looked like he'd

JARISShe gasped, a light exhale escaping her.The strong smell and taste of alcohol coated my tongue—Château Margaux, specifically. But other than that, she tasted mighty fine.'It's just a taste.'My hand gripped the back of her head, pulling her up to meet my kiss.For someone who was drunk, she took it quite well. And fuck, it was beyond good.It felt like a brainquake, shaking up my thoughts in the most exhilarating way'It's just a taste.'My hand flexed around her throat. If she wasn't so drunk, I'd have choked her. But that wouldn't be too good now, would it?I moved the hand downward until I reached the hem of her dress.'It's just a taste.'Yet, I couldn't stop my fingers when they moved beneath her dr

JARIS My mother came in not long after I got into my bedroom. I was almost tempted to order her to leave. This woman hardly came with good news.She asked customary questions like how my day went before dropping the unnerving reason she was there. "Your sister ran away."I was taking off my jacket and paused when her words reached me. "But they managed to find her," she adds, calming me the hell down. For Moon sake, she couldn't have said that sooner?"Good," I mumbled, undoing my buttons next. "But she wants to come home, and the asylum's thinking of releasing her. Like this couldn't get any worse. "Mother, please." I whirled around to face her. "I honestly can't deal with Maddy right now."Remove a 'd' and the 'y' form her name and you'll have mad. And it wasn't even an insult. She really was mad. "I know, Jaris. But—""The last thing I need right now is Maddy on my neck. You know how it is with both of us."She never shuts up about our brother. I can't deal with her.

LYRIC "Lyric!" Jaris shouted my name, but I didn't spare him a glance. Penelope was already across the road. It was her—short brown hair, body like a model even though she was an advanced woman. Back when I was with her, I always let her know she was very beautiful.It was a struggle crossing over to the other side of the road. I jostled against the crowd and managed to get over, but Penelope was already getting into a car. No. "Penelope!" I screamed. But I didn't think she heard me. She wouldn't even look at me. I tried to make my way toward her, but the crowd kept acting as a painful barrier, slowing me down.My heart crashed over as I watched her car start moving. She was getting away. I was going to lose her!The realization made me want to cry. I continued struggling with the crowd but was forced to stop when a strong hand wrapped around my elbow, pulling me back. "Lyric!" Jaris called with sternly. He looked pissed. "What the hell are you doing?"I shook my g

LYRIC Work was extremely boring today. All I did was check patients' vitals. Guinevere thought I still wasn't strong enough and didn't give me any complex work to handle. I was exhausted at the end of my shift. All I wanted was a good shower and a long sleep. But when I reached home, Kael approached me just before I'd open my door. "Alpha Jaris wants you to accompany him to a meeting. It's in an hour." He told me after welcoming me. What!?"I—I don't think that'll be possible. I just go back and I'm—""I tried to tell him you'd be exhausted, but he insisted."No. No way. I stormed off, heading to his office. But he wasn't there. I went to his room instead, my mind storming like a cyclone.He ushered me in when I knocked on his door. I didn't like the idea of being alone with him in his bedroom, but I didn't have a choice. He was rocking something on his table when i walked in. "Good evening, Alpha." I was doing all I could to sound normal to keep the anger at bay just ye
